## Summary

The public procurement contract from the City & County of Swansea pertains to the restoration of the Vivian Engine House, located at Hafod Copper Works in Swansea. Categorised under construction work (CPV code 45000000), the contract aimed to refurbish and secure a grade II listed building. This contract was at the award stage but has since been cancelled due to unforeseen funding circumstances, affecting its progress. The procurement process employed was a limited method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication due to extreme urgency spurred by late additional Welsh Government funding. Important dates include the contract records from 3rd March 2026, and the tender was initially planned without competitive bidding due to time constraints in utilising the allocated funding.

This tender offered a significant growth opportunity for businesses specialising in construction work, particularly those focused on refurbishing historical buildings. The initial contract planned to enhance the infrastructure of a historical site while complying with regional conservation frameworks, representing an attractive project for companies with expertise in heritage conservation and building restoration. Though now cancelled, such projects typically suit firms accustomed to fast-track procedures due to the urgency governed by external funding timelines. The City & County of Swansea, as the buying organisation, regularly undertakes projects requiring specialised and skilled contractors to meet their public service and regional authority objectives.

### Procurement Information

The Council has received late additional funding from Welsh Government TRI funding. Therefore for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the contracting authority as the funding was received late , the time limits for the open or restricted procedures or competitive procedures with negotiation cannot be complied with. Otherwise the Council will forego the allocated funding. These unforeseen circumstances necessitate the awarding of the contract to John Weaver who were procured through a compliant process to undertake Musgrave Engine House Restoration
